First, let me share my story. After high school, where I had been involved with lots of sports, I was going to a local gym, but I knew in my heart that I wanted something more. I kept passing a boxing gym, but had to work up the courage to go in. Once I did, I never looked back. I met a trainer who suggested that I try sparring. I absolutely loved it and was immediately bitten by the boxing bug. From there, I started competitively boxing. I went on to win pretty much every fight and tournament that I entered. I ended up traveling all throughout the United States and won many national titles.

I earned a spot on the Women's USA Boxing Team and it was a huge deal! We were an amazing team and we had our eyes on the Olympics. We hoped that the Olympic Committee would vote Women's Boxing in soon. Unfortunately Women's Boxing wasn't approved till 2012. I did box in an International Women's Boxing Tournament in Finland. I stopped all three of my opponents in the first round. Thirteen countries participated and I won the gold medal. It was a huge accomplishment!

Afterwards, I won many other national titles and three New York Golden Glove Championships which were held at Madison Square Garden. However, my life changed after I started to have kids. Boxing was put on hold, but the passion has always been inside of me. Even though I stopped boxing professionally, I continued to fuel my love for boxing by training others. And now, this is where Southpaw Boxing comes in.

It's my goal to teach and train while passing on the passion for this incredible sport. Boxing is great for kids and adults and everyone in between. It offers other athletes the very best cross training while building up stamina and mental toughness. It's great for weight loss and will increase your confidence as it brings you to the very highest levels of your physical fitness.
